    check your website content & ranking on google. If site content & ranking are showing well then no issue otherwise your site is sandboxed.

    Sandbox is called "audit" today :)
    See if you find the cached version of you site in Google... if not, then you are being audited.

    Typically people will notice their sites not ranking well for the first 6 months or so, and if they continue to add content and build backlinks to their site during this time frame they will usually start to see more traffic and improved rankings near the end of the 6 months. The search engines have traditionally done this to deter spammers because if you could throw up a site and rank right away for a very competitive key phrase then spammers would be doing that all day long.

    There are varying thoughts on whether a sandbox or audit effect even exists, but most people will agree that new sites do not typically rank well right away. Also, less competitive key phrases may experience less of an affect.

    How old is your website? New websites usually experience fluctuations in traffic, some disappear altogether. You might find this article on the Google Webmaster support page helpful in determining whether your site has been sandboxed or not and what you can do about it.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    search your site in google, if your site in google searching then no issue and if your site is not in google search then your site will be in sandbox and also check the caching of your site, if your site cached then its ok, but if the cache date is not coming then your site in sandbox

    Yes, I too think the same. It is the better manual method to check whether our site sandboxed or not and i think it is very rare that your site sandboxed instead it will be penalized and will lead to loss of PR and SERP. You can be sure that your site is sandboxed only when there is nothing found while searching your site in Google SE. Is there anyone to tell to get it back from sandbox and can anyone tell me how many days we have to work and what to be done for that? Thanks.

    Hello,
    I am a newbie over here and i came to know that Sand Box is nothing but some set of rules which helps the user ,not to allow some function.It is just a testing which keep the untested codes apart.
